Grandpa is not called Cuihua
Chapter 60
In the evening, Taohua cooks in person, and the meals are sumptuous. There are seven or eight dishes on the table, all of which Su Mo likes to eat.
Su Mo picked up chopsticks and fried meat with sliced bamboo shoots. The familiar taste was the same as before. Thinking of those days when I couldn't even eat enough, it was even more difficult to eat meat. At that time, Tao Hua was just an ordinary country girl... …
"Why are you in a daze? Eat quickly, the food will be cold in a while."
Taohua picked up a lot of dishes for her baby brother, and didn't stop until his rice bowl was already at the top.
"Miss, your cooking is getting better and better. No wonder Master Qin likes Miss..."
The little girl called Qing Ming happily ate vegetables, and looked at her lady with admiration. Her lady was the best no matter what she did, and she would definitely compare to those delicate daughters in the capital.
"Eat yours, so many dishes can't keep your mouth shut."
The index finger pressed heavily on the little girl's forehead, and Tao Hua said in a funny way, she and Qingming are masters and servants in name, but in fact they are like sisters, and they usually pamper the little girl a lot, which makes her open in front of her.
"..."
Zhao Wu sat obediently next to Su Mo, feeling a little apprehensive, how could he eat at the same table as his master by himself?It can be seen that the little girl Qingming is clearly used to it.
"Scholar Qin? Qin Han, the most talented scholar in the dynasty?"
After Su Mo thought about it for a while, he thought of the famous talented Qin Qin, and subconsciously, he felt that only this person was worthy of a peach blossom.
"Don't listen to Qingming's nonsense, Qin Han and I are not what you think..."
Tao Hua spoke calmly, and there was indeed no shyness in her eyes when she mentioned her lover.
"Ah."
Su Mo nodded cooperatively, the topic didn't continue around Qin Han, but he didn't believe that the matter was as simple as Tao Hua showed, the little girl's name should be given by Master Qin, right?In the middle, there must be a story with twists and turns...
Soon, he analyzed the matter thoroughly. The most likely thing is that Qin Han really likes the second sister, but it should still be unrequited love.The second sister can become an embroidery teacher at a young age, and she must have devoted all her thoughts to embroidery on weekdays, and she doesn't care about men and women.Otherwise, at her current age, she would have already been the mother of several children...
"There are still a few days before Taixue will recruit students. I discussed some books with Bachelor Qin. You should take a good look. The knowledge assessment inside may be involved."
After eating, Su Mo followed Taohua to the room specially prepared for him, and raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the thick stack of books. Is this the "some" that the second sister said?
"It can be said that the Taixue has gathered the most educated people in the world. Together with them, you can also broaden your horizons and increase your knowledge..."
Taohua also knew that her younger brother was unbelievably smart since he was a child, but after all, he has been staying in a remote town, and there is still a certain gap between him and the students of Taixue.
"Thank you, Second Sister—"
Su Mo nodded to show that she had listened to her words. In fact, without Taohua secretly walking around, it would not be easy for Su Mo to enter Taixue as Su Mo.Who are the people in Taixue?Either a prince or aristocrat with a superior family background, or an outstanding talent, and before entering the imperial school, there is also a level-by-level assessment, and you can pass the selection.
"Okay, go to bed early, go pick some materials with me tomorrow morning, and make some clothes for you."
Taohua waved her hand disapprovingly, and closed the door for someone else, since they are all a family, they can't thank you for anything.
The largest and most famous cloth shop in the capital is Jinxiuzhuang, and most of the famous daughters are regular customers here, but Su Mo did not expect that the boss of Jinxiuzhuang would come out to entertain them in person, more precisely, to entertain his second sister Taohua.
"Su embroidery master, the new pine and snow satin here is the most suitable for making clothes for my younger brother—"
Zhang Jingru, the owner of Jinxiu Zhuang, introduced with a smile. Seeing that he is only in his early thirties, it is hard to imagine that he is the head of such a big embroidery village.Although he looks kind, his eyes are faintly shining, but it's not annoying.
"It's really good, and the Dark Flower Brocade from last time, let's bring one too!"
Tao Hua nodded in satisfaction, this pine and snow satin is very simple and elegant, with a hint of rosin, it is most suitable for scholars.
"Your brother is so handsome, wearing the clothes made by the Suzhou embroiderer will definitely cause a new trend in the capital... I also have the best single-silk biluo here, floating like clouds, shining like the morning glow, and it is the best match for the Suzhou embroiderer... ..."
When Zhang Jingru talked about the brocade, he talked endlessly, wishing to recommend all the good things.
Su Mo listened to the discussion between the two, and was quite interested at first, but then gradually lost interest.Zhang Jingru has a business mind, and this is using the two siblings as a live advertisement!Are all businessmen so shrewd...
Thinking of this, the man's somewhat cold face appeared in his mind for some reason. He has always been reticent, and he doesn't know what it's like to do business?
"There is no comparison between people. Li Shilang's daughter is going to get married. I heard that the Chang family will send dozens of carts as a dowry gift. I don't know how beautiful the red makeup will be..."
Not far away, two noble ladies were choosing fabrics while chatting about the latest hot gossip in the capital. Such an envious tone made people guess, which Chang family could the man be with such a big money?
Su Mo suddenly found it ridiculous that there was only one Chang family in the capital who could afford these four words, and that was the "Chang Family Merchant Group", which could be called an incomparably rich country.It's just that the one who wants to marry a wife, who is it?
"If you say, this Mr. Chang is also a beautiful woman, then Miss Li is one of the most beautiful women in the capital."
"Yes, yes, it's just a pity, Mr. Chang..."
Perhaps because of some scruples, the woman's voice gradually became weaker, and in the end it was almost inaudible.It's just that the tone of regret is clear.
Su Mo frowned involuntarily, what a pity, it was not a good thing after all, what happened to Chang Hao in the past few years?
But if something really happened, why didn't the second sister mention it in the letters?
"Why are you in a daze? Let's go."
After Taohua picked out the fabric, she saw her younger brother standing there pretending to be a pillar, motionless, and she didn't know what she was thinking.If I had known that this kid had no opinion at all, it might as well be her own choice.
"Oh, I'm a little thirsty, let's find a tea house to sit!"
Su Mo regained her senses, suppressed her doubts and said, since the second sister didn't mention it in the letter, even if she asked her face to face, there would be no result.
The two randomly found a nice-looking tea house, sat in a place by the window where there were few people, and ordered a pot of sparrow tongue.
This tea house is divided into upper and lower floors, with a private room on the top and an ordinary lobby on the bottom. There is a stage in the corner of the lobby, and there are storytellers playing and singing, which is very lively.Many people below listened with great interest. Originally, wouldn’t it be better to drink tea quietly at home?Most of the people who drink tea in the lobby are to kill time.
"This sparrow tongue tastes so-so, it's not as good as green tea-"
Tao Hua took a sip and said casually, it's not that she dislikes it, it's just that someone's taste has unknowingly made her feel bad.
It's rare for Su Mo to not be particular. Originally, his purpose of coming here was not to drink tea. At this time, he happened to hear some "pleasures" in the capital recently mentioned on the stage, and the group of people below were also discussing happily.
The people who came here to drink tea were from all walks of life, so naturally they didn't pay much attention to their speech. After a while, Su Mo heard what he wanted to know.
"So what if you are rich? The Chang family is as rich as an enemy, and the eldest son is still a cripple? In order to heal his legs, even the world's number one genius doctor was hired, what's the use?"
Such a word of envy or jealousy fell into my ears suddenly, and Su Mo was stunned for a moment—Chang Hao's leg was broken?Even the master can't help it?Why didn't even the master keep it from himself?
A series of questions were thrown in his mind, but there was no answer in the end. It was hard for him to imagine what would happen to a proud person like Chang Hao without his legs.
"Little brother... It's not that I want to hide it from you... It's Chang Hao who won't let everyone tell you..."
Of course, Taohua also heard what those people said, and then explained to Su Mo with a somewhat unpredictable expression.In fact, she had already prepared in her heart that as long as Su Mo arrived in the capital, she would not be able to hide this matter, and Chang Hao must have known it too.However, even if he understands this truth, Chang Hao is still willing to deceive himself...
"Oh well."
Su Mo suddenly smiled. I'm afraid only he himself knows what's in that smile.
"Are you still drinking...?"
Taohua asked cautiously, and only then did she understand why Su Mo came to the teahouse. Facing such a "calm" younger brother, she felt a little uneasy, and always felt that something was going to happen.
"Drink, aren't we here for tea?"
Su Mo poured another glass for Tao Hua, and another glass for himself, and replied lukewarmly.
After drinking a few cups in a row, the unknown fire in my heart still couldn't be suppressed, and then I looked at the peach blossoms on the opposite side who also drank a few cups, where was the elegance before?
"Well, there is a wronged person and a debtor...you should go find..."
Taohua put down the teacup, she was almost full, the younger brother definitely did it on purpose.Although she said so, she was inevitably guilty, knowing that she really shouldn't keep this matter from her younger brother.The child was indifferent to Chang Hao on the surface, but he didn't care in his heart.
Su Mo stood up with a cold snort, and left without leaving Taohua and flung his sleeves. After all, she loved his second sister, but anyone else...
"Where to go next?"
Standing outside the teahouse, Tao Hua was already planning to go home. After this, Su Mo probably lost the interest in shopping.
"Didn't you tell me to take me around the capital?"
Su Mo brushed off the dust that was not on his sleeves, and said in a leisurely manner, he has calmed down, and this matter can be settled slowly - isn't there a saying called "the future will last forever"?
Su Mo picked up chopsticks and fried meat with sliced bamboo shoots. The familiar taste was the same as before. Thinking of those days when I couldn't even eat enough, it was even more difficult to eat meat. At that time, Tao Hua was just an ordinary country girl... …
"Why are you in a daze? Eat quickly, the food will be cold in a while."
